The movie did decent business and Shetty began to surface as as a known star in films like Bhai and Hu Tu Tu, among others. His role in patriotic movies like Border, Refugee, Qayamat: City Under Threat and LOC: Kargil were critically appreciated.

Shetty also received the Filmfare award in the best villain category for his performance in the Dhadkan. Then came the phase where he proved his mettle in comic roles, delivering hits like Hera Pheri and its sequel, Phir Hera Pheri.

Movies like Khel and Bhagham Bhaag are his home productions. He also starred in Farah Khan’s Main Hoon Na as the main villain, and in movies such as Shootout at Lokhandwala, Mission Istaanbul, Red Alert: The War Within, De Dana Dan, Thank You and No Problem.
